Renu therapists are trained in Traditional Chinese Medicine | Renu Massage, Energy & Bodywork in Madison

Qi = Life Force

Each independent massage and bodywork therapist has been trained in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) theory, and Eastern bodywork techniques including acupressure points and meridian work, TuiNa medical massage techniques and cupping therapy (a negative pressure version of massage). Also check out this great article about the benefits and history of cupping therapy. We have several Certified Cupping Therapists on staff, and all massage therapists at Renu have been trained to use it effectively.

What does this mean for you? In each session we work to balance your Qi (pronounced “chee”) which the ancient Chinese believe is the energy source that gives each of us life. Qi includes all types of energy associated with your health and can become stagnant and congested just like everything else in life. Our Reiki master will also work with your chakras to restore balance and promote healing on an energetic and spiritual level. We use ancient healing techniques to assist you in restoring your body, mind & spirit to their balanced state, whether through massage, cupping, Reiki, or a spa package with the sauna.

The ancient Chinese also believe in the balance of two fundamental opposite energies, yin and yang. Day and night, male and female, hot and cold, energetic and physical are all examples of a yang and yin pair. Each person’s yin and yang energy should be balanced as we move through the cycles of each day, each month, each season, and each phase of our lives. Daily stresses on the mind, body or spirit, imbalances in nutrition or sleep, and postural imbalances can all create disharmony in your energy. Over time, physical pain, headaches, anxiety, menstrual pain, indigestion and more can result. You will receive attention to your energetic balance in every session at Renu, which serves as preventive health care when done regularly.

Don’t forget that we are available by appointment only, so please call to check our availability or you can see our availability online under Schedule an Appointment.

“I have had cupping twice. I was not a believer but was willing to give it a try. After one session it nipped a beginning shoulder flair up in the bud! For someone who has had multiple rounds of physical therapy sessions throughout the years, I am extremely pleased wiht the progress I have made with Heidi and massage therapy!!”
